What is the most exciting and most stressful part of a looming vacation?

Depends where we’re going and how long, time of year, who we’re with, how we’re traveling.

Let’s assume every category is a positive response, okay?

Most exciting? The adventure of it all.

Stressful? Being organized to leave home without any worries whatsoever.

It’s almost always embarrassingly slower than our reputation and ego can handle

Constantly learning WordPress, from the ground up
Constantly learning WordPress, from the ground up

 

The beautiful reward for hard work, and refusing to quit (ever) – and being open to new paths, is this…

Slow and steady progress.

Almost always embarrassingly slower than our reputation and ego can handle.

Yet always stronger and more profoundly beautiful, meaningful, and impactful than we dreamed it could be.

Because it was so much work. So much longer. And defeat looked so much bigger.

Was organized enough this morning to do this

Breakfast grill at a busy Disney Restaurant
Her High School friend was already there and cooking breakfast (a subtly different pic than yesterday’s post)

 

Was organized enough this morning to do this. To rearrange the morning to allow for a visit to our friend’s house following her email about her husband’s sudden death. (Another friend had sent us an email three days prior asking for prayers – Mike had been admitted to the hospital – but it went to an email address we no longer use)

Sent a reply offering suggestions on how I could help.

Without a reply back, and now 9am, I drove to their home.

Knocking on her door, was afraid because I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. Nor what to do and when to do it.

So we just hugged. Sat down. And talked.
